Collaboration in a Local Hydrogen Cluster in Germany

摘要

According to Michael Porter [1] a Cluster "is a geographically proximate group of interconnected companies and associated institutions in a particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities". As the sum of its parts is of greater value than each individual company or institution (e.g. clusters create synergy). As Feldman [2] points out cluster formation is a process that relies on the coevolution of technology, business models and local supporting institutions.
